Chapter 408

Emery pondered for a moment, then raised her arms, allowing Marcy, who had been waiting beside her to help adjust her dress. After a brief pause, she made her decision:
“Let’s call her Angelia… Angelia Melsen.”
. . . . .
Angelia's successful pregnancy proved that Amelie's fertility magic was working, so the problem lay with Julia.
Without a doubt, let's summon Julia to the research lab in the Magic Tower and examine the matter closely with a rigorous research attitude.
In order to have a child smoothly, Yulia was very cooperative. She accepted all kinds of examinations as Amelie instructed, and she was not afraid of all kinds of difficult positions.
In this situation, the examination results came back quickly, leaving the two speechless.
Simply put, Yulia's inability to conceive is due to the special constitution she developed after embarking on the path of the Super Magical Form, which can also be described as a side effect of her cheat-like abilities.
One of the most important reasons why Yulia was able to transform from an ordinary girl into a top-tier powerhouse in just a few years is that her body can absorb all the magic power that enters her body to become stronger, whether it is magic power directly supplied to her or food rich in magic power.
Even the magic that was poured into Yulia's body to conceive a child was the same.
Fertility magic, as the name suggests, involves condensing the essence of life and subsequent fusion operations, all of which absolutely rely on magic.
Each time Emerald infuses Yulia with the life essence, it is essentially a magical cluster carrying Emerald's life imprint and genetic aura. After all, these are abstract existences, and without the special medium of magic, they would be difficult to exist in the material world.
So every time Emerald's life essence entered Julia's body, it would go out of control and then lose contact. In reality, Julia's body was consuming all that life essence... which was a great tonic.
"Waaaaah... How could this happen? I actually ate my own daughter? I'm such a bad woman!"
Upon learning the truth, Yulia was deeply saddened and overwhelmed with remorse due to a surge of maternal instinct; she was on the verge of tears.
Emery quickly flicked her head:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Those aren't your daughters yet. They're just life essences I condensed with magic. In essence, they're no different from what you ate during our water magic duels."
Is...is that so?
Yulia blinked, looking noticeably better, as if her previous sadness had been feigned to get Emily to comfort her.
Regardless, the examination was effective, revealing the reason why the fertility magic failed to work on Yulia.
Let's address the problem and make improvements.
Amelie attempted to use fertility magic to impregnate Julia for the second time.
The attempt failed again. Amelie had worked hard all night, and the large amount of life essence she had consumed left her feeling weak. She needed to drink a few sips of the liquid life essence produced on-site by Marcy to recover.
The reason for the failure... is still Yulia's problem.
She knew perfectly well that what Emeryt poured into her body wasn't food, but she just couldn't control her body's instincts. Every time that life essence entered her body, it would be immediately absorbed.
In a way, Emery is also partly responsible for this.
When she was training Julia, in order to help Julia quickly increase her combat power so that she could defeat enemies of a higher level, Emerald often said the following to Julia:
"Don't think!"
"Don't trust your brain, trust your body's instincts!"
Yulia obeyed and practiced and fought according to Emeryte's instructions. The effect was indeed very obvious, allowing her to often beat people of higher levels to their knees.
But now a side effect has appeared: Yulia's mind no longer has the same priority as her body's intuition.
Even if Yulia focused her mind and told herself that Emerald's life essence was for having children and absolutely could not be absorbed, her body instincts would treat it as a great tonic, causing Yulia to watch helplessly as the life essence was absorbed, unable to do anything about it.
"Waaaaah... Why is my body so disobedient! It's so awful!"
After another failed attempt throughout the night, Emery was exhausted and a bit weak. Yulia was just angry with herself, and Bangbang punched himself several times without feeling relieved.
Seeing this, Emerald could only quickly release Marcy, who was replenishing her strength and energy, and gently comforted Julia again, while offering a new solution:
"There's no other way... Since you can't control your body, baby, let this child grow inside me. Anyway, it's our daughter, isn't it?"
"...Huh? Honey, are you having a baby?"
Yulia's eyes widened immediately, somewhat incredulous, yet also deeply moved:
"But...but aren't you very busy? You have to seal off the demonic tides everywhere...Won't pregnancy have an impact?"
"It won't have any impact."
Emery smiled slightly, her eyes full of confidence and pride:
"My sealing magic is the best in the world. I can use a seal to protect and isolate the child during pregnancy, making the child safer and preventing the pregnancy from affecting me."
"Once the child has grown to the point where she can be born within the seal, I will release the seal and bring her into the world."
"Although most women are weak after giving birth, I am skilled in holy magic, and with Sisi here, I should be able to recover immediately... Even if a level 7 magic tide happens to break out at that time, it won't matter at all."
"Um... well... okay then."
Yulia was no longer sad; in fact, she even chuckled to herself happily.
"Then you should have the baby, my dear... You saw it yourself, my dear, it's not my fault I didn't want to have the baby, it's just that I really can't do it!"
"...Hmph?~~"
Amelie simply gave Julia a coquettish glare and pinched her cheek.
"I'll rest with Sisi during the day, and then I'll deal with you properly tonight!"
She said she was going to rest, but in fact, Emerald didn't get to rest during the day because news came from the Demon Suppression Sisters Association that a high concentration of demonic energy had been discovered in Shangying Kingdom, possibly a level 7 demonic energy, and Emerald needed to seal it. Currently, the high priestesses of the Tengu Shrine have already made preliminary preparations on site.
Fortunately, with the international teleportation array, transportation between the two sides of the White Sea is now very convenient. Emerald went to Shangying Kingdom as easily as going shopping and sealed it the moment the level 7 magic tide was fully formed.
Once the seal was completed, the Demon-Suppressing Sisters, who had already completed their training and were ready to go, immediately began guarding and maintaining the seal. The local Tengu Shrine would also provide them with full assistance, so Amelie didn't need to worry about it anymore.
As night fell, the third round of Emerald's fertility magic began.
This time, the same posture was used, but the spellcasting process was different.
Instead of channeling her life essence into Yulia, Ameliete attempted to absorb Yulia's life essence into her own body and complete the spell within herself.
I thought this time it would finally work, but the magic failed again.
The reason still lies with Julia.
Previously, in order to prevent Dao Ancestor Ji Yue from merging with the Dao, Yulia had trained hard for a year, comprehensively improving her various resistances, so that she could become a reliable vanguard in the battle against Dao Ancestor.
As a result, Yulia mastered all resistances and could even withstand the annihilation sword head-on, but Emerald could no longer absorb her.
Just like when she was infused with life essence by Emerald, when Emerald tried to draw Yulia's life essence out of her body, Yulia's body instincts would automatically trigger all resistance and lock, preventing Emerald from drawing out a single drop of life essence.
It's worth noting that among the three Chosen Ones in the new version, Yulia, as the Chosen Hero, is the one most skilled in combat.
If Amelie hadn't possessed memories of her past life and been blessed by the gods, her combat abilities would have been surpassed by Julia long ago.
Even now, if Amelie were to fight Julia seriously, her most effective attack would be divine magic. Other magic would either be resisted by Julia or be like scratching her.
In short, because Julia's resistance was too strong, Amelie's current level of magic absorption was completely unable to absorb her, so the third attempt at fertility magic failed again.
"Waaaaah, why is this happening? Why is it so hard for me to have a child?"
The next morning, Yulia was depressed again because of this:
"When I read those novels and picture books before, they always said that the more powerful a life form is, the more difficult it is for it to reproduce... Is this also the case for me now?"
"Ugh... If I had known this would happen, I should have done it when I first met you..."
"Oh huh?"
Emery immediately seized on this remark, reaching out to gently scratch Julia's chin like petting a cat, teasingly:
"Could it be... that you planned to have my baby when we first met, darling?"
"...Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that?"
Julia rubbed her chin against Emery's hand, her eyes half-closed in comfort.
"Back then, I was just an ordinary female student who had just graduated. Apart from being fairly good-looking, I was practically useless... But you, this super powerful young lady, suddenly became so nice to me. Of course, I suspected that you had ulterior motives."
"Although what happened later was completely different from what I imagined, at the beginning I did fantasize about whether you would forcibly take me home and turn me into a toy, cruelly play with me and then have my children..."
"So, darling, you've had these kinds of fantasies... How about we try to turn your fantasy into reality?"
As Amelie played with Julia's hand, she began to move downwards, quickly reaching Julia's waist, embracing her, and gently blowing on her lips.
"...Is there anything else I haven't tried?"
As a result, Yulia just rolled her eyes and became depressed again:
"But no matter how you treat me, it seems I can't be a mother anymore... Waaah, why didn't you be even meaner and tougher on me back then?"
"...Baby, don't rush, I'll make you a mother."
Seeing this, Emerald could only sigh inwardly, while softly comforting Julia:
"I can't extract life essence from you right now because my current magical absorption ability isn't enough... but that doesn't mean I won't be able to in the future, does it?"
"My forte has always been sealing and control spells, followed by various damage and healing spells. I haven't really studied absorption spells much... which means I still have a lot of room for improvement. What are you panicking about, darling?"
"Hey?"
Only then did hope rekindle in Yulia's eyes:
"Honey, you mean...?"
"Yes, that's it."
Emery nodded, appearing very confident:
"Give me some time to improve myself. Trust me, I will definitely help you achieve your dream of becoming a mother!"
. . . . .
Since the problem lies in magical abilities, then let's work on improving them.
Just as Ameliette had never specifically studied absorption magic, Julia had never specifically trained to develop resistance to absorption.
That night, when Amelie tried to use fertility magic, she could already sense that Julia's life essence was loosening. If her absorption magic were stronger, it should work.
However, given Amelie's current level of magic, even the great mages of the Lohid Magic Academy have nothing to teach her, not even the ability to offer advice. In a real exchange, it's hard to say who would be guiding whom.
Currently, the only being in the world who can guide Ameliete in her magical training is the Elf Queen, who was once a goddess of magic.
However, the Elf Queen was too exhausted in the battle to stop Ji Yue from merging with the Dao, and it would be difficult for her to wake up without a hundred or eighty years of slumber. Forcibly waking her up might cause her to completely lose control and become the Silver Desire Evil God.
Having a child is a private matter, not worth taking such a big risk.
So after thinking about it for a moment, Emerald decisively gave up the option of waking up the Elf Queen to ask her for advice.
Unable to consult the Elf Queen for magic, Amelie had to find another way, such as drawing inspiration from Eastern magic.
Just as she had previously consulted "The Netherworld Soul Manual" to improve her necromancy and referenced the spells of the Heavenly Palace Shrine to improve her sealing magic, this time she planned to improve absorption magic.
In Eastern magic, most spells that can absorb the life essence of a target are basically evil and demonic arts. The demonic arts of the Tianyun Empire have long been almost wiped out, with only the Netherworld Sect founded by the red-clothed figure surviving. Before Ji Yue left, they almost dared not enter the empire's territory.
The spells that the Netherworld Cult is good at are mainly soul-based spells for the red-robed figures, and they do not have the absorption spells that Amelie needs.
But it doesn't matter. Although the demonic cultivators of the Tianyun Empire were almost wiped out by the Dao Ancestor and the Immortal Sect, their lineage was not broken—almost all the demonic cultivation techniques were recorded in the Immortal Sect's library.
Now that Ji Yue has left and the Immortal Sect has disbanded, the Yunshan Sect, which inherited the main legacy of the Immortal Sect, is completely under Tianyin's control. Therefore, Amelie in the Library can look at it however she wants.
In the library that once belonged to the immortal sect, Amelie found a large number of Eastern spells that could absorb the life essence of opponents, all of which were once evil and demonic arts.
There are weaker techniques that require drawing blood to absorb blood and heal themselves, and stronger techniques that can grab a person and refine them instantly. There are so many that Amelie was a little dazzled by them.
She patiently examined the spells carefully, selecting those with good effects but low damage, preferably absorption spells that could help the weak overcome the strong.
After some selection, Amelie actually found a very suitable cultivation method.
This technique not only perfectly meets the requirements, but also has a ready-made good teacher who can teach Amelie to learn it even faster.
It was once one of the most powerful martial arts techniques of the Hehuan Sect—the "Moon Tide Absorption Technique".
"...Master, do you really want to learn this?"
Tianyin, who was summoned to Amelite's side, looked at the cultivation manual that Amelite handed over, her expression very complicated.
"It's not that I want to learn it, I just want to understand the principles of this technique for reference... As the former Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect, even if you haven't practiced this technique, you should know it very well, right? Please explain it to me in detail, preferably by combining theory with practice."
Amelie chuckled and sat down in a grand chair, her eyes narrowed as she scrutinized Tianyin's entire body, her wicked intentions making no attempt to conceal them.
She's been so busy lately that she's barely had time to spend with even her closest women, let alone a summon like Tianyin... It's been over two years since she last tasted the flavor of this former senior disciple of the immortal sect, and she does miss that taste now.
If I can take the opportunity of learning the Hehuan Sect's techniques to satisfy my cravings, it would be killing two birds with one stone.
Tianyin didn't care about Amelie's aggressive gaze. After learning that Ji Yue had returned but didn't save her, she had already given up and resigned herself to her fate.
At this moment, Tianyin's expression was complicated, mostly because her memories had been stirred up:
